Installation fails due to missing photoslibrary/v1 go package

[betaprior]

Installation via go get -u github.com/nmrshll/gphotos-uploader-cli/cmd/gphotos-uploader-cli fails with
package google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1: cannot find package "google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1"

Indeed, this package is not in the list if you go to https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api -- has it been removed?

[thefrip]

Yes, it has been removed by Google. I could fetch it manually from: https://github.com/influxdata/influxdata-operator/blob/master/vendor/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go

Recommendation from Google is to "vendor" the package directly in this git

[calisro]

How does one install this now?

[coltc50]

That's I want to know also...

EDIT: Found it... :-)

[tonymet]

@coltc50 could you share your workaround? it looks like that library has been deprecated, so I can work to vendor it

here is a little more info.
googleapis/google-api-go-client#354

[tonymet]

@nmrshll I'm planning on vendoring the library and will submit a PR. let me know if you can think of a better approach.

[tonymet]

@leoalekseyev wanted to say thanks for reporting the bug sorry for the delay.

[tonymet]

@leoalekseyev @coltc50 please test this PR
note GO111MODULE=off

EDIT: Found it... :-)
hi Can you type the workaround for us mere mortals! Thx

[goldcove]

@voltcraft1 @calisro

Workaround until fix is merged:
mkdir -p mkdir -p /home/{yourpath}/go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1

Download https://github.com/influxdata/influxdata-operator/blob/master/vendor/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go to the directory mentioned above.

Re-run the installation as mentioned in the readme.

@goldcove
Novice go user here... I couldn't get your workaround to work.
The instructions in the readme aren't helpful because the requirements are after the quick start.
This seemed to be working, but...

export GO111MODULE=on
mkdir -p /home/poleguy/go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1
cd /home/poleguy/go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/influxdata-operator/master/vendor/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go
go get -u github.com/nmrshll/gphotos-uploader-cli/cmd/gphotos-uploader-cli

Then it complains about non-....v1 module:

go: finding github.com/mattn/go-isatty v0.0.4
...
go: gopkg.in/h2non/filetype.v1@v1.0.8: go.mod has non-....v1 module path "github.com/h2non/filetype" at revision v1.0.8
...
go get: error loading module requirements

I found this:
https://go.ctolib.com/article/comments/8022

But it seems too many levels deep for me to succeed.

I just want to upload photos...

What step am I missing?

[Yexiaoxing]

I can confirm that @goldcove steps are working by slighting changing the command:

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1
curl https://github.com/influxdata/influxdata-operator/raw/master/vendor/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go -o $GOPATH/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go
go get -u github.com/nmrshll/gphotos-uploader-cli/cmd/gphotos-uploader-cli

[poleguy]

I got it installed and running with the help of this thread, thanks all!

[ReidandKat]

@poleguy would you mind posting your installation steps? I can't get it working.

[brett-w-thompson]

Tried Yexiaoxing's workaround, still can't install. Am on macOS.

$ go get -u github.com/nmrshll/gphotos-uploader-cli/cmd/gphotos-uploader-cli
package google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1: cannot find package "google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1" in any of:
	/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.12.5/libexec/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1 (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/brett/go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1 (from $GOPATH)```

[jledoux]

mkdir -p ~/go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/influxdata-operator/master/vendor/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go -O ~/go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go
go get -u github.com/nmrshll/gphotos-uploader-cli/cmd/gphotos-uploader-cli

Note if you get an error on the last step like

package google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1:
 ../go/src/google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary/v1/photoslibrary-gen.go:7:1: expected 'package', found '<'

it means you didn't download the photoslibrary-gen.go file correctly, but instead downloaded an HTML file (either from a github page with a link to the proper raw file to download; or from a 404 page if it moved).

I'm trying to update my rfgamaral/docker-gphotos-uploader with the latest version but I'm failing with the instructions described here.

This is what I get:

Thoughts?

[pacoorozco]

I've reverted the previous PR. go doesn't allow to have some dependancies as vendor and others as Go Modules. I'm currently blocked at this stage.

I don't want to put all dependancies as vendor. I'd like to put only this one. One approach is converting this library into an internal module. What do you think?

[pacoorozco]

Not working yet...

[pacoorozco]

Hi guys!
I've tried a lot of approaches to deal with google.golang.org/api/photoslibrary but It seems doesn't works. Something it's not working when you try to use go get. If you clone the repository and build the command line with make build it's working properly.
I'm afraid that go get is not using go.mod replace line...
I'll continue doing some more tests, but be aware go get method is not temporary working.
